    Been here several times over many years (remember when it was Bimini Boatyard), but yesterday, the food was not as good as before. Not to mention the food came out separate and had to wait for the one child order. Again, been here before, just think they were overwhelmed, under staffed or something was going on

    Lauren took outstanding care of us! I can’t think of a cooler place to be on an evening than outside on the water at Boatyard.

    We recently hosted a company dinner at this fantastic venue, and I must say, the food was exceptional. The staff went above and beyond, exuding warmth and attentiveness that made the evening memorable.

    It's loud inside! But nice outside by the dock. Food and service were good, but expensive, like everything else in Fort Lauderdale.
